Using custom indicator within strategy

[CriticalTrader]

(NT8R12)...

I'm trying to use a custom indicator from within a strategy I call myTrader.
I invoke it in the following manner:

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
// myIndie = myCustomIndicator(true, false);
// AddChartIndicator(myIndie );
AddChartIndicator(myCustomIndicator(true, false));

I prefer the commented out approach, because from within the strategy's OnBarUpdate handler I would like to grab the current values of some public (myCustomIndicator) indicator variables using the following format:

double signalEntryPrice = myIndie.signalEntryPrice;

instead of having to state it as follows:

double signalEntryPrice = myCustomIndicator(true, false).signalEntryPrice;

which seems to be not quite appropriate, since it implies this way will construct another instance of the indicator...

I am unable to use my preferred approach, because the compiler generates an eror when trying to treat the myCustomIndicator indicator like a class in the following:

private myCustomIndicator myIndie ;

'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies.Strategy.myCus tomIndicator(bool, bool)' is a 'method' but is used like a 'type'

What am I doing wrong?

Hello CriticalTrader,

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong as you have not posted the script or code you are using.

However, attached is a working example that demonstrates using a variable handle to hold an indicator object.
